Eight Nebraska football players have filed a lawsuit against the Big Ten conference and are seeking a reversal of the Big Ten's decision to postpone fall sports.
In a statement from Mike Flood, the lead attorney for the eight students, Flood said that the lawsuit also looks to "award temporary and permanent injunctive relief," and award "nominal damages for breach of contract and tortious interference."
"This lawsuit isn't about money or damages, it's about real-life relief," Flood said. "These student athletes have followed all the precautions, underwent regular testing, and live according to the prescribed guidelines of the world-class experts at UNMC all for the chance to play football in September.
